Well, 1000 pages of "PPOT More Random Pics" and 2 1/2 years later, I got my answers. I topped it off last summer, and made plans to remodel the closet in October.
I was able to tip it on its side and roll it into my daughter's room, who was away at school.
While at the hardware store I saw a paint bucket and remembered that I often stood on them so they had to be strong. So I modified it a little:
I needed something to hold it neck down, but with access to keep clearing its neck.
I then planned to roll it up a temporary ramp and then with the aid of gravity let it slide down on top of the bucket.
But...
After rolling it several times around on the carpet, when it got to the top of the wood ramp, some atom bumped some molecule, and with no warning, the need for access to clear the neck came to quite an abrupt end.
No one was harmed in this production, but we spent a LOT of time picking out circa 1950 shards of lass from the pile - many of which were shaped like the swords Isis uses to do their evil.
It filled six bags @ 30 lbs each.
